  • Disclaimer
    InfoFlora compiles information on protected species as accurately as possible, taking it from the respective cantonal laws. In some cases, however, it was not possible to use the plant names as listed in the original text, but an interpretation of their taxonomy or nomenclature was necessary. The exact meaning of the categories „completely protected“ and „partially protected“ differs among the cantons.

    InfoFlora cannot guarantee that the information on the protection status is correct and complete. In case of doubts, we recommend to look up the texts of the respective cantonal law.

Conservation

Threats and measures

Nutzungsänderungen


Bewirtschaftungsverträge
Beibehaltung der gegenwärtigen Nutzungen (z. B. extensive Pferdeweide bei Raron)

Zu früher Mähtermin (mässig schnittempfindliche Art)


Mahd alljährlich
alle 2-3 Jahre erst ab Mitte Juli, in Pfeifengraswiesen erst ab September (z. B. Rheinmündung)

Entwässerung


Wechselfeuchte Wiesen, Wegränder und Gräben erhalten

Verbuschung


Entbuschen und teilweise auslichten (z. B. Raron, Waltensburg)

Beweidung


Extensivieren falls zu intensiv oder einzäunen (z. B. Waltensburg)

Auffüllung, Kiesabbau, Deponie


Absprache mit den Betreibern zum Schutz der Art (z. B. Grône)

Weg-, Strassenbau, Unterhalt


Auf Fundstellen Rücksicht nehmen (z. B. Turtmann)
